1989 European Ecumenical Assembly 'Peace with Justice'
Basel, Switzerland, 15-21 May 1989
The final message from the 1989 European Ecumenical Assembly 'Peace with Justice' held in Basel included the following statement :
Let us nail the lie that we have unlimited freedom to exploit the natural world as we will. To deal with nature in the way of peace requires us to reject economic and social structures which are a threat to life. It has been borne in on us again in recent days that the present profligate waste of resources and energy must be drastically reduced. Of all of us is required a radically different and simpler life-style.
